The German Foreign Office has released a new interactive map which visualizes climate and conflict risks around the world. The Climate Conflict Vulnerability Index Map identifies areas around the world where climate change and conflicts are likely to happen, and where people are especially vulnerable to these risks.
How It Works
The CCVI is built on three key factors:
- Climate: Looks at the risks caused by changes in weather, such as more intense storms, droughts, or floods.
- Conflict: Considers places where there is a higher chance of violence or conflict.
- Vulnerability: Focuses on how vulnerable people are based on things like poverty, poor infrastructure, or limited resources.
The tool combines all this data to figure out which regions are most at risk. It’s updated every three months and uses a system that breaks the world into small squares (about 55 km by 55 km) to analyze risks. If you hover over any of these squares on the map you can view each of the Climate, Conflict and Vulnerability Index scores for that region. You can also select either Climate, Conflict or Vulnerability form the map menu to view where in the world these risks are highest.
Why It Was Made
The CCVI was developed with support from the German government to help researchers, governments, and organizations understand where climate change and conflicts are most likely to create the biggest problems, so they can plan and take action to help those areas.
In short, the map shows where climate change and conflict might hit hardest, helping organisations and governments figure out how best to respond to these challenges.
